September Camping Trip

For the weekend of Sept. 18-20 we went camping one last time of the "summer" with Grandpa Mark, Grandma Dianne and Aunt Amy. We went to Conestoga again (same place we went with them in June) because all of Pawnee's campsites with electrical hook ups were full. We were a little surprised, but it was beautiful camping weather. A little chilly at night (which is good for sleeping!) and nice and sunny during the day.

UPDATE! I have more - check out this additional post for the rest of the pics and videos from this trip http://branzboys.blogspot.com/2015/09/more-from-camping.html


Here are the boys walking with Aunt Amy by the lake. The last time we were there this whole entire area (and half the parking lot even higher up) was underwater. Reese was disappointed that the worms were gone. In fact, we went for this walk/bike ride because he had asked to go see the worms! They were happy to throw rocks in the water instead.

And rubbing noses with Grandma Dianne

If you listen to my mom in this video she is explaining how we gave the hammock to my dad for his birthday the summer I was three, and how I tried to keep it a secret! I have many childhood memories rough housing on this hammock with my sister and friends when we were camping too!

Clayton and Wyatt were kind of basket cases most of the weekend - so here's Clayton with a basket

All three boys playing together but separate on an old living room rug that is now a camping necessity! 

And then of course on Saturday night, we did the BEST part of camping (according to Clayton) and made S'mores in the coals of the fire.
